Doug:

Not familiar with DB3. If it offers and ODBC interface there are modules you
could use to access it. I'm not aware of a DB#-specific database module, but
that doesn't mean there isn't one.

Take a look at the DB SIG pages at http://www.python.org/ to get an idea of
how databases are used from Python.
